hmmm the first one cuts out at 3:46 but it says it has like 9 minutes on it, anyway, compliments on the quality especially for youtube. I saw some techs you could have hit that probably would have saved you some damage but other than that I can't really say what it was about your falcon that probably cost you the match. Edge battling against a jigglypuff is definitely a good way to lose though.

Not bad, great teching skills and some other stuff you rarely see (wall jump used in recovery). Work on your combing? Samus is hard to combo though (That also being the only vid I watched)

Yeah I encoded in a way by changing the duration to 'trick' youtube into not re-encoding into it's format, giving the video better quality, so it thinks its 9 min, but in actuality it is about 3 min.

Thanks for the advice so far! Sometimes I do get a bit anxious and think I can take jiggs on the ledge lol...not always the best idea...

In general I usually make a lot of stupid mistakes...whether it be SDing a lot or just missing a random shffl'd aerial...which always costs me some damage. Maybe i just need to be more careful or take my time?

against puff, never try to go toe to toe. try to always be above or below. unless you grab of course. and try to kill at low percentage, otherwise its impossible. and... just try to be faster.

thats some nice lookin video quality, specially on youtube. what format did u use? its obious it wasnt converted to flv. what do u use record?

anyways you have a decent falcon, you got the basics down. but like waychu said you gotta be faster. and learn to do the moonwalk. its the best.

Pretty sweet Falcon.

Teach me your YouTube-deceiving ways.

Or at least tell us what you did, because that quality is thug nasty, nasty thug.

Well since so many people like the quality so much, this is the method I used.

CLICK!

Basically everything is right there...just have to encode your video correctly then edit the Hex of the file.

Also, edited the first post, adding two Falco vids. For the life of me I can't handle it...even though he does mostly the same thing every match. I must be missing something obvious to counter his Falco....once again, any help appreciated :D

i see a flaw to your play. if you ever miss any aerials on samus and she spot dodges. first thing you do is shield. they'll throw a smash at you and you have a free knee out of shield. if your missing those timings you gotta work harder on it

i will give advice to VS fox/Falco cause this is where i am most experianced, do not edge gaurd with Fsmash, mostly a Dair works if they are recovering from below the stage, you just need to work on your times and fast falling, also work on easyer combos to start out, like at mid % side B, upsmash, knee works well, or around the 90% range upthrow to Fsmash is a combo, unless they DI to the side very well, but to start these are simple things to try in your game, also for falcon it is good if you mix up dash dances with wavedashes, it creates a good aproach, trains your fingures to be faster, and looks really cool.

i hope this helps, good luck.
